STRESSED TO KILL is a black comedy made on an indie budget which turns out to be a lot better than expected. A lot of that is down to the main performance from Bill Oberst Jr., one of the hardest-working indie stars in cinema today. Oberst is excellent as the mild-mannered protagonist who visits a doctor who advises him to improve his health by eliminating all stresses from his life. Oberst takes this advice literally by using poisoned blow darts to kill anyone who annoys him. It's a quirky premise and one that plays out on the cheap, but the direction is solid and it's occasionally very amusing. Armand Assante co-stars as a psycho cop.
